Breakfast confession:

I don’t like “fresh” chicken eggs. I like chicken eggs that come from Costco. “Fresh” chicken eggs taste…well…fresh. In fact I only like them in baking, which is why we have LOTS of fresh chicken eggs staring at me every morning when I eat a big bowl of Frosted Flakes instead of eggs.

So now you know, because I’m sure you cared..(NOT). Unfortunately I don’t have anything else to write about and only this picture of eggs on my memory card to share. No sewing or stitching or fabric or even my own kid….just eggs.

I have my own chickens and I love fresh eggs. What is really gross is making scrambled eggs with store bought eggs and seeing how pale the yolks are compared to eggs laid by free-range happy chickens.

My sister is the same as you, though. I think modern americans are not used to the real taste of fresh food any more since so many things are so processed and shipped thousands of miles before they reach the store.

That shirt is not that bad, either. I like the pattern, though maybe the color isn't the greatest on you. It's kind of retro.

You are SO funny! My Amish neighbors have a dairy farm. The wife buys her milk at Wal-mart. To each his/her own... I can go with my neighbor's fresh brown eggs unless I see something floating in them. Then, thanks but no...

I dont eat fresh egss either... well actually I dont eat eggs period. The last egg I attempted to eat came right from the chicken coop. I cracked my little egg in the bowl and baby chick fell out... sick I know, but it has scarred me for life.

The only thing I really don't like about fresh eggs is they are really hard to peel when they are hard boiled. Our yolks are always rich and beautiful colored and I love that. Whenever I have a surplus of eggs I make an angel food cake. They are so good homemade! P.S. I liked your ugly shirt post. I have that fabric and I didn't like it much after I worked with it. It looked good on the bolt. Oh Well:)

This post is hilarious! The egg laying here was about down to nil, so I purchased some from our local store. Found some that were from free ranging hens, so I was happy. I'm not sure I can actually taste any difference between purchased/home grown, but the eggs do look different. The biggest point of this is the treatment of the chickens; I feel awful at supporting the regular chicken industry. yechI notice you've a blue egg! And I love your quilts...

LOL you would have really grossed out this morning, I know I did a little bit. Went to feed the chooks and picked up an egg that was hot. So I guess it was fresh out of the chicken, ewwww. Will still eat it :)

From the color of your eggs it looks like we have the same kind of chickens:] The difference in the taste of the eggs probably isn't so much from them being fresh but because of the chickens diet - you have happy, free-range chickens. Just leave the eggs in the fridge for a month or so and they won't be fresh anymore - then you can eat them...haha

I think I'm getting to citified too, because I don't like fresh eggs. I think it's because I'm not use to the yellowness of the yolks. So, I agree with you! I loved your post and your egg picture is great! Stop by and visit me sometime!http://songberries.blogspot.com

As for my son & I we like all kinds of eggs. last night we has shiitake fritatta - he is 13.5 months old & loved every bite! No idea about freshness - although you can test it by floating an egg in water. I don't remember though, is it the floater that is fresh or the sinker?
